Can’t download Apple Fitness app to iPad (8th gen)

I’m trying to download and install the Apple Fitness app on my iPad (8th gen). In the App Store it shows an error saying “This app requires specific features not available on this device”. Ive got a compatible device (iPad 8th gen) and I’m running iPasOS 17.2 (the latest at the time of posting this question). Why am I seeing this error?

In my case the iPad was using an Apple ID that is not associated with any iPhone. This must be why it’s not installable. Sure would be nice if the error message in the App Store were more informative. That’s also a strange app requirement.
